ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES IN PATIENTS WITH CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS |

Conventional methods of treatment and prevention of cerebral-vascular diseases are not quite effective, are associated with numerous side-effects, expensive and in need of reconsideration. Therefore as the most feasible approach in our opinion is considered a complex approach in prophylaxis of dysfunctions of brain blood circulation based on combining medicament and non-medicament therapies. An important part is given to the methods of reflexotherapy (RT) most of all laseropucture and the methods of chinese phytotherapy.
Materials and research methods: 147 patients with cerebral-vascular pathology were observed, among them (95 - with chronic brain ischemia (CBI), 52 post-stroke patients (PS). 84 patients were administered the preparation of Bolus Huato (BH) (61 as a monotherapy, 23 - in a combination with RT) comparing 63 patients of the control group treated with the traditional medicament therapy.
The study comprised the following methods: clinical-neurological research, neuropsychological research (SAN scale, test „troika”, test „10 words”, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)), research Rehabilitation Activities Profile (RAP), transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) («Sonomed - 300», Russia), Electroencephalogram (EEG) («Neuron - Spectrum», Russia
The patients were treated with BC preparation within three months. (Patients with CBI -12 pills twice a day; post-stroke patients - 24 pills twice a day). CBI patients during this period were also treated with a course of RT methods.
Results and their discussion: as the result of the treatment all the patients reported positive dynamics concerning complaints and neurologic symptomatics, which was confirmed with the clinical-instrumental and neuropsychological data.
Thus neuropsychological test in CBI patients revealed an improvement of psychomotor and mnestic functions (test „troika”, „10 words”). Besides among the patients of both group significant improvement of spirit, lowering of anxiety, emotional lability in comparison with the control group was observed (test CAH).
The study of cognitive dysfunctions with the use MMSE in 21 post-stroke patients showed a positive dynamics (average value in this sub-group raised from 19,3±3,7 up to 22,9±2,1 (p<0,05)), reaching practically the norm.
At RAP test the maximal effect was achieved at the profiles “communication”, attitude to the environment, “self care”, on the contrary at the profiles “mobility” and “occupation” the effect was minimal.
After the treatment according to TCD data a growth in speed characteristics of blood flow along the arteries under investigation was found in both groups compared to the staring level. The growth of lineal speed of blood flow in post-stroke patients was somewhat lower as compared to CBI patients that were subject to combined treatment with RT methods.
The positive influence of the conducted therapy demonstrated a tendency to accumulation of summarized spectrum of alpha-activity as well as a reduction of summarized spectrum of teta- and delta-activity according to EEG data.
Conclusions: Therefore, the trial demonstrated that administration of Bolus Huato favouring all the assessed clinical forms of cerebrovascular disorders proved to be effective as monotherapy and as combination with RT methods.
